2014-15 Eurocup Regular Season Draw coming next Monday

The draw to determine the 2014-15 Eurocup Regular Season groups will take place on Monday, September 29 at 12:00 CEST in Barcelona, Spain. The draw will take place three days after the conclusion of the Turkish Airlines Euroleague Qualifying Rounds, whose results will determine the last seven of the 36 teams that will play in the Eurocup this season.

The 2014-15 Eurocup will have one major change compared to the previous season, with the number of teams participating reduced to 36. The regular season starts on October 14, and ends 10 weeks later, on December 17.

For the draw, teams will again be grouped geographically into two regional conferences, this time into six groups of six teams each.

The top four teams in each group proceed to the Last 32 phase, beginning January 6, when they will be joined by the eight teams that do not progress to the Turkish Airlines Euroleague Top 16. The Last 32 will consist of eight groups of four teams, half of which will advance to the Eurocup Eighthfinals, which begins March 3.

From that point, the teams will play two-game, single elimination series. After the eighthfinals, quarterfinals will start on March 17, and semifinals on March 31. The two surviving teams will play the Eurocup Finals on April 24 and April 29, a home-and-away series on their own courts to decide the 2014-15 Eurocup Champion, who in turn will qualify for the 2015-16 Turkish Airlines Euroleague.

The Draw will be streamed live from Barcelona. Fans will be able to follow it at the official website of the competition, eurocupbasketball.com.
